        <p class="Topic-Text-Indent">To make an SSL connection with a server you 
 have an account on:</p>

            <li class="p-Topic-Text-Numbered">
                <p class="Topic-Text-Numbered">Follow 
 the directions for <a href="..\2getstarted\configuring_a_new_ftp_site.htm">configuring 
 a site</a>, being sure to enable SSL by selecting <span style="font-weight: bold;">FTP/SSL</span> 
 or <span style="font-weight: bold;">FTP/Implicit SSL </span><span style="font-weight: bold;">Server 
 type</span>.</p>

                <p class="Topic-Text-Numbered">Once you 
 click <span style="font-weight: bold;">Connect</span>, WS_FTP 'tells' 
 the server that you want to make an SSL connection. The server then transmits 
 to you an identifying certificate, letting the client know who the server 
 is. If that certificate is already listed in your Trusted Authority database, 
 the connection will be made.</p>
            </li>
            <li class="p-Topic-Text-Numbered">
                <p class="Topic-Text-Numbered">If that 
 certificate is not listed as a trusted authority, the Non-Trusted Authority 
 window will appear.</p>

                <p class="Topic-Text-Numbered">Select 
 the option you need and click <span style="font-weight: bold;">OK.</span> 
 If the server does not require a certificate to be returned, the secure 
 connection will be established. All data transmitted between you and the 
 server will be encrypted.</p>

 you are attempting to make a connection to a server which asks WS_FTP 
 to send back a certificate, follow the directions for <a href="Client_Certificate_Verification.htm">Client 
 Certificate Verification</a>.</p>
